KOOKIE, KOOKIE (LEND ME YOUR COMB)
Edward Byrnes & Connie Stevens

CONNIE: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?
EDWARD: Well now, let's take it from the top & grab some wheels
& on the way we'll talk about some cuckoo deals.
C: But Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: Now you're on the way, miss, & I'm readin' you just fine.
Don't cut out of here till we get on Cloud 9.
C: But Kookie?

E: I've got smog in my noggin ever since you made the scene
C: You're the utmost!
E: If you ever tool me out...dead, I'm the saddest, like a brain
C: The very utmost. Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: Man, I got my bruise lighters in my flapsy-colored pen
You're gonna send me to that planet called...you know it, baby,
the end!

(sax solo)

C: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?
E: If you ever cut out, you might be a stray cat
'Cause when I'm flyin' solo, nowhere's we're on that!
C: Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb. Kookie, Kookie?

E: What's with this comb caper, baby? Why do you wanna latch up
with my comb?
C: I just want you to stop combing your hair...& kiss me. You're
the maximum utmost.
E: Well, I beans & I dreams goin', I'm movin' right now
'Cause that's the kind of scene that I dig...baby, you're the
ginchiest!

A search on "Kookie lend comb lyric" brought this site, which has the
whole rambling text:

You're welcome, Mary, but I SPELLED IT WRONG! He's the "ginchiest"
(cool and groovy in 60's style), not the "grinchiest" (mean and green
Christmas-hater.) I winced when I saw my mistake, and hoped nobody'd
notice.

I remember first hearing that song driving with Bob and Dennis down a
Nebraska highway in April in a red convertible with the top down. We
were freezing, but man, it was COOL!

My brother and I used to snap our leather belts to the rhythm of the "snap
snap." It sounded eerily similar.
BTW The song was written by the same guys at Warner Brothers who wrote the
Bugs Bunny TV show theme, "On with the show, this is it."
